Key Findings
- Researchers in China studied the role of the SRO gene family in rapeseed's response to drought stress
- They identified 19 SRO genes in rapeseed and analyzed their genetic characteristics and evolutionary relationships
- BnaSRO1 and BnaSRO11 were found to be major genes that help rapeseed cope with drought by interacting with specific proteins
